I’ve been thinking about this now for days! The thing is, I’m not terribly good at remembering actors and I don’t generally fan cast. I can tell you who I’ve liked for Kurt. I thought Adian Hough (from the original X-Men animated series) was good. I mean, they only gave him one episode but sounded like ‘Crawler to me. Liam O’Brien (from Wolverine and The X-Men) worked well for me too.

For Jono? You know I’ve ‘heard’ his voice since Gen X #1 in my head but I’ll be damned if I’ve found an actor that struck me as Jono. Thanks to the 90′s cartoon I always imagine telepaths have a weird echo to their mental voices so it’s got a bit of that going on. It’s not a terribly deep voice but it might be a little ragged sounding. That probably has more with how Jono feels about himself than what he sounded like pre-accident.

Annnd now I’m made myself sad.

Oh! I can tell you one precasted voice that totally didn’t work for me. Northstar in the 90′s X-Men. Oh, lordy, no. It was, like, super high and just not what I imagined at all for him. No offense to the original voice actor. I also thought Sabretooth and Pyro’s were a bit…off.

   When he’s written well, he’s three dimensional. When he’s not, he’s just a nutbag who blows stuff up for no reason. Or rips his face off because…well, no one ever explained why.

See, that is what makes me sad.  He hasn’t been three dimensional since Dini and Timm stopped playing with him (minus the first two arkham games but that’s a whole ‘nother story)

He’s had a few good moments but, mostly? Meh. Morrison managed to do something semi interesting with him in Batman and Robin towards the end. But I hated R.I.P. Although, compared to weird faceless Joker, that Joker was OK. It always can get worse, apparently.

The Arkham games (and comics) are a bright spot in a rather bleak canon.

Oh, boy.

Joker’s nerves being shot so he’d basically impervious to pain but also doesn’t really feel much else either.

Harley being a terrible cook but trying anyhow. Spaghetti and jelly beans, anyone?

The two of them letting Bud and Lou sleep in the bed. At first Joker was staunchly opposed to the idea but Harley wouldn’t shut up about it.

Both of them delighting in decorating their hideouts with toys and torture devices.

Joker’s body being covered in chemical burns from his constant tinkering with explosives.

Harley stitching him up after each tango with the Bat. To a point where it’s essentially a ritual.

Most of his teeth being false since he’s been punched in the face so damn many times. What poor Gotham dentist got suckered into seeing the Joker? I want that story. I bet he took the nitrous oxide with him when he left.

Harley lovingly tending to a plant that Ivy gave her only to have Joker ‘accidentally’ kill it. The next day a larger, prettier plant has replaced it.

Going dancing at The Iceberg Lounge. Ordering everything on the menu and then bailing just to piss off Ozzy.

Harley being able to call up any of the rogues and get a favor because they like her. Joker being able to call up any of the rogues and get a favor because they prefer breathing.
